Identify and deconstruct existing artwork(s) interpreting the decisions made by the artist in relation to the context within which the work was made.

4 Identifying the Research Question

Analyse existing academic literature to identify research questions and research methods appropriate to the chosen field of research. Explore these techniques in relation to own project, to uncover possible research questions.

5 The Post Mortem

Identify and apply reflective processes to the dissemination of the findings of the research.

Statement on Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Students will undertake sustained literature research in relation to a chosen query or area of interest. By mid semester students will submit a bibliography of reading and short form research record for feedback in the structured feedback week. Summative assessment will be the dissemination of the findings of literature research in an academic form, with supporting reflective documentation appropriate to the learning outcomes of the module.
